Why the "-1" ?
ssh root@localhost
You can also use becomeroot to gain root access.

Line
Protocol 2
If this line doesn't exist, v2 will be used and if the client does not understand v1, it will switch to the _insecure_ v1.

This is exactly what you *shouldn't* type. (in your case it's localhost fine but I thought it's worth mentionning)
There are a lot of tools to relay, record traffic, capture password, and manipulate interact sessions for ssh v1. If you add on top of this that you ssh to root then it's heaven for crackers.
These tools have even been ported to nokia devices..

Got SSH installed OK, one post said input..
"SSH -1 root@localhost" to gain root access
There are actually two variants of the command that you should be using and they achieve the same thing:
Code:
ssh -l <user> <host>
Code:
ssh <user>@<host>

Will I create new problems if I add a password to the user account?
I would rather be able to get into my 810 from anywhere, w/out doing the certificate management dance first.

No it won't create a problem to put a password for user.
And if you don't like the dance, there is a usefull linux script ssh-copy-id
From a linux (or cygwin in windows) to the device:
ssh user@n800
enter the password
And that's it, it won't ever ask you for a password anymore.
For this you will need an ssh-agent (started by common session manager like kdm, gdm)
And enter once the passphrase for your keyring using ssh-add.
On the client, to create your keyring in .ssh/ (only needed once)
ssh-keygen

PHP Code:
ID_FILE="${HOME}/.ssh/id_rsa.pub"
if [ "-i" = "$1" ]; then
shift
# check if we have 2 parameters left, if so the first is the new ID file
if [ -n "$2" ]; then
if expr "$1" : ".*\.pub" >/dev/null; then
ID_FILE="$1"
else
ID_FILE="$1.pub"
fi
shift # and this should leave $1 as the target name
fi
else
if [ x$SSH_AUTH_SOCK != x ] && ssh-add -L >/dev/null 2>&1; then
GET_ID="$GET_ID ssh-add -L"
fi
fi
if [ -z "`eval $GET_ID`" ] && [ -r "${ID_FILE}" ] ; then
GET_ID="cat ${ID_FILE}"
fi
if [ -z "`eval $GET_ID`" ]; then
echo "$0: ERROR: No identities found" >&2
exit 1
fi
if [ "$#" -lt 1 ] || [ "$1" = "-h" ] || [ "$1" = "--help" ]; then
echo "Usage: $0 [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine" >&2
exit 1
fi
{ eval "$GET_ID" ; } | ssh $1 "umask 077; test -d .ssh || mkdir .ssh ; cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys" || exit 1
ssh user@n800
enter the password

"SSH -1 root@localhost" to gain root access, but I tried and got this.
"Protocol major versions differ: 1 vs. 2"
I installed the proper version of SSH (At least I think) from Maemo downloads for OS2008!
Please what amd I doing wrong....
N800 and OS2008.... Darren Thanks in advance
